Happened again ...BUT....

I put around 325 miles on Friday the 12th of Sept. and was really getting confidant that I have solved my problem with the bike stalling, then having to pull in the clutch and hit the starter to get going again.
Anyway I was getting near the 400 mile mark(accumlitive over the last few rides) with out even a hicup.Then my bike did it again.No bumps on the road or anything, but it was a hot day and I had been stretching around on the saddle after a couple hours I needed a little different position.
Anyway it died three times and I was/am just bewildered as to what is the problem?
But today I took the seat off to get ready to do my 12,000 mile service, valve check, etc And I to my well, I don't know why, but to my delight and supprise there was paint again on my seat pan where we had put the grease paint.
I guess I didn't relieve it far enough on one spot and it had transfered paint where it was hitting on the igniter box.
So I had my friend help me heat the seat and we took a big socket and pushed the pan further away.
I hope I have it far enough!
I still will get some clay and use it to see how far I have relieved it,but for now I hope it is fixed and I am pretty sure the seat touching/pressing on the box IS the cause of this intermittant problem.
I also will post some pictures of my Seat fix soon.
